I bought the MVM a while back... and have a few comments on it that may interest others
It really is meant for a veterinarian... I took some university biology and speak a few languages... but you will need a medical terminology dictionary to go along with this tome
I find it isn't a good book for diagnosis... it has a chapter for pretty much every organ in the body, and good luck if you don't know which one is causing the trouble
If you want to know the exact mechanisms which are involved in an immune system response, it is great.. it will NOT tell you HOW to do something like pregnancy check, etc.
It does deal with nearly every type of animal... from aardavark to zebra
My overall impression is that there must be $60 books out there with less but more relevant to us kind of folk.... just the index is 200 pages... it's certainly not a waste of money, but you can get better bang for your buck in something else
Anyone else have the hardcopy of this book? What are your thoughts on it
